COBRAS V KNIGHTS, NOVEMBER 24: JP Duminy (above) scored his third half century of the Ram Slam T20 Challenge to lead the WSB Cape Cobras to an exciting three-wicket victory over the VKB Knights at PPC Newlands in Cape Town on Sunday evening.

The Cobras captain landed his best effort of the campaign, scoring 67 off just 44 balls which included eight fours and a six before being trapped lbw by Marchant de Lange (4-0-31-1) with the scores level. Duminy (above) was reprimanded by the umpire for his dissent at having lost his wicket at such a late stage of the game.

He used his bowlers to good effect as Rory Kleinveldt (4-0-19-3, above) helped restrict the visitors to 159 for five and with the hosts struggling on 108 for six, the men from Bloemfontein thought they were on their way to a third win.

The hosts had made a hash of the chase, losing Richard Levi (3) early on. Temba Bavuma (6), Aviwe Mgijima (5), Ferisco Adams (9) and George Linde (9) could not make it into double figures and when Hashim Amla (above) played Eddie Leie (4-0-38-2) onto his stumps for 29, the Cape faithful thought their chance at victory was gone.

WARRIORS V LIONS, NOVEMBER 26: Colin Ingram (above) produced the innings of the tournament so far to lead the Warriors to a stunning, four-wicket victory against the bizhub Highveld Lions in their match at PPC Newlands.

Chasing a Newlands record 183 for victory, Ingram (above) ignored the loss of two early wickets and blasted his way to a brilliant 89 from just 48 balls with five fours and seven sixes to lead his team to within 19 runs of victory when Kagiso Rabada had him caught down the leg side.

Earlier Reeza Hendricks and Rassie van der Dussen (above), the leading scorers in the tournament, continued their prolific form with an opening stand of 87 before van der Dussen was trapped lbw by Warriors captain Jon Jon Smuts for 45 from 30 balls with three fours and a couple of sixes

Miller plundered his runs off only 37 balls striking six fours before he became leftarm spinner Jon-Jon Smuts’ (above) second victim of the innings. Smuts also accounted for Theunis de Bruyn who made 22 in assisting Miller.

The Warriors had a sniff when Smuts sent Miller packing, but a destructive innings of 31 in 18 balls from Ryan McLaren (above) ensured that the home side got the points. Patrick Kurger also added a valuable unbeaten 20 at the death.

TITANS V DOLPHINS, NOVEMBER 24: Friday's key fixture between the Multiply Titans and Hollywoodbets Dolphins at Willowmoore Park in Benoni ended in a washout. Titans captain Albie Morkel won the toss and opted to bowl first, but rain ultimately prevented any play whatsoever.

COBRAS V LIONS, NOVEMBER 24: The beleaguered WSB Cape Cobras finally got off the mark when they held their nerve to prevail in a dramatic finish to beat the bizhub Highveld Lions by six runs at Eurolux Boland Park in Paarl.

The desperate Cobras, struggling without a win in three matches at the bottom of the table, will have sighed with relief after they somehow emerged victorious against a team that looked, at various stages, to have the game won. But, in a breathless finish, the Lions’ batsmen threw away their advantage as the Cobras battled away manfully to clinch a much-needed victory.

Duminy (above), who struck his 35th T20 half-century, and Hashim Amla (42) featured in the Cobras’ only significant partnership of 87 in 73 balls for the third wicket after Richard Levi and Bavuma went early, top-edging deliveries to third man and fine leg respectively.
